Run Jul 2013
Waiting

Watching

Dying

Rotting away

Inside


The worst part?


You can't run away
Nothing's happening
And everything's


**Fine
Run Jul 2013
The way
These mixed
Thoughts and
Emotions
Uncertainty
And something else
Knots up my insides
And I feel like

Ripping

Them


Out
Run Jul 2013
In the dark
In the cold
In the sheets
I scroll through
The pictures

Pictures of words
Pictures of quotes
Pictures of people
Pictures of drawings
Pictures of memories
Picture after picture after picture

I scroll
Faster and faster and faster
Each swipe getting more vicious
Than the last
Until you could hear the tap
Of fingernails
On glass

The strange gripping
Sensation
Intensifying
With each flying
Image
Angrier and angrier
Annoyed and irritated
Frustrated and confused

Small white font
On a pale blue-green wall

Ghosts are real.
They live inside of us,
And sometimes,
They win"


And I know
This one
Already

Once you start
Digging that hole
To search
For reasons
For meanings
For another side
Lying deep underneath

Beware

You may get stuck
Walls too high to climb
Earth collapsing on you from above
A flood filling the hole to drown

You might as well have been
Digging your own
Grave
Run Jul 2013
I thought I've already
Been taught that
Lesson

Apparently
I haven't learnt
Enough from it

To stop
Assuming
Wishing
For something
Run Jul 2013
They say
That mirrors
Tell you the truth

Wrong

They can only tell you
What you can see

What's underneath
Remains
Unseen
Run Jul 2013
How easy it would
Be, to turn your back on all
You've seen, heard, said, felt.


But it's just wrong
